🔓 How to Reset Private Space PIN/PASSWORD


Have you forgotten the password to the Private Space on your Nothing Phone 2? Or maybe you just want to wipe it clean and start fresh?

Let’s break it down 👇

🔧 Preconditions (Before You Start)

Before diving into ADB commands, make sure:

  • ✅ USB Debugging is enabled in your Main (Owner) User
  • ✅ You can connect your phone to a PC and run ADB commands
  • ✅ You are dealing with Private Space (a second user profile), not Secure Folder or App Lock

> ⚠️ This method deletes the Private Space and all its data — it does not recover the password.

🔹 Step-by-Step: ADB Method to Remove Private Space

✅ STEP 1: Identify User Profiles

Open a terminal or command prompt and type:

adb shell pm list users

You’ll see output like this:

UserInfo{0:Owner:13} running  

UserInfo{10:PrivateSpace:10} running

👉 Note the number next to Private Space — that’s the user ID you need. 

In this example, it’s 10. (Most probably its 10)

✅ STEP 2: Remove the Private Space

Now, execute:

adb shell pm remove-user 10

User id Successfully Removed...

🎯 What this does:

Deletes the entire Private Space (including the password and files inside it). Boom — gone.

🛠️ Having Trouble? 

Try these fixes:

  • Make sure you’re connected as the Owner (User 0)
  • Confirm USB Debugging authorization is granted on the phone

❗Important Warnings

Here’s what this method can and cannot do:

✅ This ADB Method WILL:

  • Delete the Private Space user profile
  • Remove any password or lock screen on that space
  • Free up storage used by that profile

❌ This Method CANNOT:

  • Recover forgotten passwords without deleting the space
  • Decrypt or recover files stored inside Private Space
  • Let you browse Private Space without root or encryption keys
